  • Ip Fragmentation
    NETWORKING CASE STUDY IN STEM EDUCATION - IP FRAGMENTATION M. Mikac1, M. Horvatić2, V. Mikac2 1Inter-biz, Informatic Services (CROATIA) 2University North (CROATIA) Abstract In the last decade, or even longer, computer networking has been a field that cannot be overseen in technical and STEM education. While technological development and affordable prices brought powerful network devices to the end-user, all the networking principles are still based (and probably will remain so) on old protocols developed back in the ‘60s and the ‘70s of the twentieth century. Therefore, it can be expected that understanding the basics of networking principles is something that future engineers should be familiar with. The global network of today, the Internet, is based on a TCP/IP stack of protocols. That is the fact that is not to be changed - the most important change that seems to be predictable will be wider acceptance and usage of a newer version of Internet Protocol (IP) - IPv6 increases its adoption in the global network but it is still under 30%. Even though different modifications of certain transport (TCP, UDP) and network (IP) protocols appeared, essentially the basics are still based on old protocols and most of the network traffic is still using the good old TCP/IP stack. In order to explain the basic functional principles of today’s networks, different kinds of case studies in real-networks or emulated environments can be introduced to students. Among those, one of the case studies we use in our education is related to explaining, the so-called, IP fragmentation - the process that sometimes "automagically" appears in IP network protocol-based networks when certain constraints are met.

  • Common Lower-Layer Protocols
    COMMON LOWER-LAYER PROTOCOLS Whether troubleshooting latency issues, identifying malfunctioning applications, or zeroing in on security threats in order to be able to spot abnormal traffic, you must first understand nor- mal traffic. In the next couple of chapters, you’ll learn how normal network traffic works at the packet level. We’ll look at the most common protocols, including the workhorses TCP, UDP, and IP, and more commonly used application-layer protocols such as HTTP, DHCP, and DNS. Each protocol section has at least one associated capture file, which you can download and work with directly. This chapter will specifically focus on the lower-layer protocols found in reference to layers 1 through 4 of the OSI model. These are arguably the most important chapters in this book. Skipping the discussion would be like cooking Sunday supper without cornbread. Even if you already have a good grasp of how each protocol functions, give these chapters at least a quick read in order to review the packet structure of each. Practical Packet Analysis, 2nd Edition © 2011 by Chris Sanders Address Resolution Protocol Both logical and physical addresses are used for communication on a network. The use of logical addresses allows for communication between multiple networks and indirectly connected devices. The use of physical addresses facilitates communication on a single network segment for devices that are directly connected to each other with a switch. In most cases, these two types of addressing must work together in order for communication to occur. Consider a scenario where you wish to communicate with a device on your network.

  • Measuring and Comparing the Stability of Internet Paths Over Ipv4
    Measuring and Comparing the Stability of Internet Paths over IPv4 & IPv6 Using NorNet Core Infrastructure Forough Golkar foroughg@ifi.uio.no Master’s Thesis Spring 2014 Measuring and Comparing the Stability of Internet Paths over IPv4 & IPv6 Forough Golkar foroughg@ifi.uio.no 16th June 2014 Dedicated to my lovely mother, Fariba ii Abstract Enormous Internet growth is an obvious trend nowadays while Internet protocol version 4 address space exhaustion led into the invention of Inter- net protocol version 6 and subsequently raised the transitioning challenges from one protocol to the other one. As the Internet protocol version 6 have not been around for a long time, thus there is a limitation knowledge in topology, routing change and performance of IPv6. Several studies are go- ing on in order to getting the information about IPv6 which makes a con- tribution with improvement and deployment of IPv6 and accelerates this transitioning which one of the aspects is the Internet path stability. With this aid this thesis proposed a comparative study of Internet path stability over IPv4 and IPv6. First a measurement of Internet paths over both IP versions has been performed, then the Internet path changes have been extracted in each single set of source-destination pairs. Finally some analysis on the data has been performed in order to observe the stability of Internet paths and provided a comparative study in the set of IPv4 and IPv6. iii iv Acknowledgement I would like to express my appreciation to the following persons for their kind supports during this thesis: • My sincere gratitude to Amund Kvalbein, for accepting supervising me.
